3 c GF Flour Mix (recipe
-follows)
1/4 c Sugar
3 1/2 ts Xanthan gum
2/3 c Dry milk powder
1 1/2 ts Salt
2 ts Sugar
1/2 c Lukewarm water
1 1/2 Yeast cakes, or 1 1/2
-tablespoons yeast granules
1/4 c Shortening
1 1/4 c Water
1 ts Vinegar
3 Eggs
Combine flour, sugar, xanthan gum, milk powder, and salt in bowl of
heavy duty mixer. Use your strongest beaters. Dissolve the 2
teaspoons of sugar in the 1/2 cup of lukewarm water and mix in the
yeast. Set aside while you combine the shortening and 1 1/4 cups
water in saucepan and heat until shortening melts. Turn mixer on low.
Blend dry ingredients and slowly add shortening and water mixture and
the vinegar. Blend, then add the eggs. This mixture should feel
slightly warm. Pour the yeast mixture into the ingredients in the
bowl and beat at highest speed for 2 minutes. Place mixing bowl in a
warm place, cover with plastic wrap and a towel, and let the dough
rise approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until doubled. Return to mixer
and beat on high for 3 minutes. Spoon the dough into 3 small (2 1/2″
x 5″) greased loaf pans or 1 large one. Use muffin tins and bake any
remaining as small rolls. Or make all rolls (approximately 18). Let
rise until the dough is slightly above the top of pan. Bake in
preheated 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Place foil over bread and
bake large loaves 50 minutes longer, small loaves slightly less time,
and rolls about 25 minutes. NOTES: The dough texture will seem more
like cookie dough than bread dough, so don’t be alarmed. Bread is
better
